The embodiment of Jedi ideals, Obi-Wan Kenobi is both wise and strong. His patience and keen powers of observation have served him well as one of the Jedi Order's most masterful negotiators. These qualities are matched in measure by his swiftness and skill with a lightsaber, making him Master Yoda's first choice for many unconventional missions. Dependable and trustworthy are traits the Jedi Council has come to associate with Obi-Wan, and his successes in the Outer Rim campaign have earned him a seat among their number by the final days of the Clone Wars.

Having taken on the training of Anakin Skywalker since the death of his own Master Qui-Gon Jinn on Naboo, Obi-Wan has tutored the young Jedi in the ways of the Force to the best of his ability and the two have become fast friends, remaining together long after Anakin's graduation to full Jedi Knight. Their trust in one another and complimentary styles have helped mold them into a virtually unstoppable team in battle, equally dangerous to Separatist enemies whether flying wingtip to wingtip in space or fighting back to back with lightsabers on the ground. Even in the company of famous Jedi warriors such as the lethally efficient Agen Kolar, starfighter-ace Saesee Tiin or swift Kit Fisto, Obi-Wan and Anakin have gained flashy reputations as the Republic's champions in the Outer Rim Sieges.

Called home to Coruscant by a Separatist attack, Obi-Wan is Anakin's most fervent supporter when the tempestuous Jedi's loyalties are questioned by the Council. While he is wary of Anakin's darker side, Obi-Wan has faith in his friend's innate goodness and ability to master his own passions and formidable power. Even when sent by Yoda to Utapau in search of General Grievous, a mission Anakin sorely coveted, Obi-Wan's confidence in his troubled former apprentice is unshaken. They part as friends and brothers, unaware that the next time they meet, it will be to fight to the death.
